The event starts at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. People are asked to donate one pair of crazy or colorful socks to be admitted.

The hip-hop group will distribute the socks to children at the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Sacramento one week before Christmas.

K-Town will headline the concert. Also performing will be Faith Hornby, Paul Buttitta and Richey Bronson.

This is the third year the group is collecting socks. K-Town member Taj Dedrick said the idea was borne when he was in the hospital for three weeks a few years ago.

"I remember telling my mom how tired I was (of) staring at my feet, white walls, white blankets and white socks," Dedrick said. "It makes us feel good to know that there will be children waking up in the hospital with a smile on their face because of (the) crazy socks on their feet."

People can also donate socks by visiting Serenity Massage, located inside Quail Run Fitness in Lakeport, and ask for Tara Cossey. Socks can also be mailed to: K-Town, P.O. Box 1407, Kelseyville, CA 95451.
